Fails WP:PERP (and WP:BLPCRIME). Not notable apart from the accusations, and not convicted, so shouldn't have an article. Fram (talk) 09:46, 24 October 2022 (UTC)

- I started the article because he was a respected out gay officer but almost everything I found is about his recent arrest. There are sources out there calling him a hero before his arrest but they are c
crowded oit right now. One of the sources talks about it. but I was so exhausted I WAS HAVING trouble. I’ll keep working on it.
- Delete routine crime, nothing notable about this fellow. Sources are simply mentions. Oaktree b (talk) 13:04, 24 October 2022 (UTC)
- I’ve been updating the article as I’ve been finding sources as to why he was called a hero when I first red about him. I didn’t know about his arrest when I first read about him and thought he would be a good subject. I thought about his being an out gay cop in a major city. I think it is because his arrest is so recent and there is so much coverage that makes it hard to find positive coverage. BostonMensa (talk) 16

- Comment The coverage doesn't have to be positive, but it has to be in reliable sources, talk about the subject at length and non-trivial. We don't have much of anything that we can use for an article here, that's the issue. Oaktree b (talk) 22:59, 29 October 2022 (UTC)
